Panel Introductions A finalist in the 2013 Wine Blog Awards, a certified California Sustainable Winegrowing Ambassador, and the founder of the stay rad wine blog, …. Jeff is drinking Duchesse de Bourgongne and Calicraft Brewing Co. Barrel Project Zinfandel Sour Ale He’s a member of the American Homebrewers Association and the head brewer at Angry Goats Brewery,...John Ruyak. John is drinking Rodenbach Grand Cru and Boxing Bear Black and Blue Sour My name is Jeff Eckles, I’m a certified specialist of wine and your host for these festivities, and  Jeff is drinking Petrus Oud Bruin and Crooked Stave Petite Sour Tart Cherry Sours John - History/origin, discussion, etc. Q & A Listener Email - Sour beer update from Doley in FL: tried St. Louis fond tradition--That's probably what the goats drank that made them angry.  Not a fan.  Founders Rubaeus--that one was pretty good.  Nice tart raspberry taste, good price.  I'll get more of that.  Best so far: St. Louis framboise lambic.  Great tart/ sweet berry taste. Really liked that stuff. Only downsides are $7.99 a bottle and the fact that it's only 2.8% abv; is it really beer? I'd drink that stuff by the gallon if it was less expensive.  On another note-- the superhero stuff on the last episode: Roundtree/Shaft? Gimme a break.  Dolemite would kick the balls off that sissy. For sure Tastings Last Call
